The majority of real Canadians don’t want mass immigration. We want immigration from the nations our founding ancestors came from, with people who share our values, heritage, and traditions.
Handing out pieces of paper granting citizenship to people from the Third World doesn’t mean they share those values or speak on behalf of Canadians whose families have been here for generations.

OTTAWA COMMITS $32 BILLION TO FIRST NATIONS INFRASTRUCTURE AND ANOTHER $3 BILLION FOR HEALTH SERVICES
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government has announced $32 billion over the next decade for First Nations on-reserve infrastructure and housing, including $18.5 billion for roads, bridges, schools, healthcare facilities and water systems.
An additional $2.9 billion over three years is earmarked for the Non-Insured Health Benefits Program.
Despite the funding commitments, the Assembly of First Nations says considerably more investment is needed, estimating the infrastructure shortfall at approximately $375 billion over the next decade.
Housing shortages, inadequate infrastructure and ongoing drinking water advisories remain major challenges in First Nations communities across Canada.

“Trouble” was originally written and released by Cat Stevens in 1970. But some songs take on a whole new life when another artist gets hold of them. And when Eddie Vedder covers your song, somehow it becomes his.

CARNEY SAYS CANADA ISN'T READY TO SIGN A TRADE DEAL WITH THE U.S.
Days before the U.S. midterms, Carney says Ottawa is "not at that position right now" and will only sign the right deal for Canadians. Talks collapsed in August, bringing 50% U.S. tariffs.

The security footage didn’t create the problem. It simply exposed his behaviour for everyone to see.

EU DROPS PROPOSAL TO GIVE CANADA ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP
The European Union has reportedly abandoned a proposal to grant Canada associate member status following opposition from several major EU countries, including France, Germany and Italy.
Instead, the bloc is looking at strengthening political and economic ties with Canada without offering formal membership.
Further details on the proposed relationship are expected ahead of the 2027 EU-Canada summit.

This could be one of the most unpredictable lobster seasons we’ve seen in years. Between tariffs, rising operating costs and uncertainty in international markets, there’s no telling how things will play out for harvesters or what shore prices will look like.
SOARING FUEL COSTS RAISE CONCERNS AHEAD OF NOVA SCOTIA LOBSTER SEASON
Nova Scotia lobster fishermen are facing mounting financial pressure as preparations continue for the upcoming season in Lobster Fishing Areas 33 and 34 along the province’s southwestern coast.
In a CTV News report, fisherman Michael Larkin says his fuel expenses alone could jump from approximately $30,000 last season to $55,000 this year, an increase of $25,000 over the six-month season.
Diesel isn’t the only concern. The cost of rope, traps and other fishing gear continues to rise, leaving harvesters questioning how much profit they’ll actually make.
The two fishing areas landed approximately 22,000 tonnes of lobster worth nearly half a billion dollars last year, but strong landings don’t necessarily translate into strong earnings.
Larkin warns that fishermen may have to reduce how frequently they haul traps if fuel prices continue climbing. He’s also calling for a federal fuel rebate to help offset rising expenses.
The Lobster Council of Canada says the competitive global seafood market makes it difficult to pass increased costs along to consumers.
With another season approaching, fishermen are facing higher operating expenses and no guarantee that shore prices will be enough to cover them.

HEATED CONFRONTATION ERUPTS AT 30,000 FEET!
What reportedly started as a disagreement over an airplane tray table quickly escalated into a heated confrontation between two passengers.
One passenger called for the other to be civil, only for the exchange to escalate into a threat to punch them in the mouth.
All this over a tray table. Whatever happened to basic manners and common courtesy?

CANADA FACES EU CARBON TARIFF WITH NO EXEMPTION IN SIGHT
Canadian iron, steel and aluminum exports will not be exempt from the European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, according to internal Global Affairs Canada documents obtained by CBC News.
The briefing note estimates about $2.8 billion in Canadian goods a year are exposed to the levy, which European importers will start paying at the border in 2027 before it is fully phased in by 2034. Newfoundland and Labrador is hit hardest, with about $885 million a year in iron and steel exports exposed, followed by Quebec at about $792 million.
The note says an exemption is not currently possible because Canada's carbon price is not linked to the EU's trading system, unlike Norway, Iceland and Switzerland. Ottawa is working to limit the impact as Canadian and EU leaders meet in Montreal this week.
Seafood is not covered by the mechanism, but the issue shows how trade with Europe is getting more complex just as Canada, and Atlantic Canada in particular, looks to the EU to diversify away from the U.S.

Imagine benefiting from the institutions, infrastructure, rule of law, and high trust society built by European settlers and their descendants, then treating any pushback against race preferential hiring as an attack on inclusion.
Canada was not founded as a blank canvas for demographic replacement. The people whose ancestors cleared the land, built the economy, and established the institutions that made mass immigration attractive in the first place have a legitimate interest in preserving the character of the country they created. Preferential policies that lower the bar by identity do not erase that history.
They just create new resentments and cast doubt on the achievements of everyone who actually met the standard.
If the priority is developing one’s own society on the terms of one’s own people, that work is available in the places left behind.
AM I A DEI HIRE?
What a terrible question to have hanging over someone’s career simply because of the colour of their skin.
Imagine spending years studying, working hard, making sacrifices and earning your qualifications, only to have someone quietly wonder whether you got the job because of your abilities, or you are another DEI hire?”
Think about how insulting that is. Years of hard work and achievement reduced to race. And here’s the cruel irony: policies intended to empower minorities can sometimes leave them having to defend the very success they worked so hard to achieve.
Let’s be clear. Racism and discrimination exist everywhere you go in the world. And for sure, civilized societies must confront them. And I believe many people who support DEI genuinely want to create a fairer society. But good intentions don’t always produce good outcomes, and we should be willing to question whether our approach is helping or hurting.
I want an Alberta where every child can grow up believing something simple: If I work hard, develop my abilities and earn my qualifications, I will have a fair opportunity to succeed.
Not because someone owes me a position. Not because an institution needs someone who looks like me. And certainly not because my background should define what others expect of me. But because I have something valuable to contribute.
That’s what true inclusion should mean. Creating a fair opportunity for people to enter the room, contribute, succeed and be respected without anyone questioning why they’re there.
That is why I wholeheartedly welcome Premier Danielle Smith’s government decision to introduce legislation aimed at putting merit and qualifications at the centre of public-sector hiring. Credit where credit is due!
The Premier is bringing an important debate about merit, fairness and individual dignity into the open.
We should NOT lower the bar but definitely remove the barriers. That’s exactly what this legislation is going to fix.
DEI is nothing but replace discrimination with another form of unfairness. And don’t reduce anyone’s achievements to their race.
Your skin colour is part of who you are. It should never be the explanation for what you’ve achieved.
That’s the Alberta I believe in.
And that’s why I support Premier Danielle Smith’s proposed public-sector hiring reforms. I admire her courage in tackling an issue that too often gets buried under political correctness and fear of controversy. Whether people agree with every detail or not, this is a debate worth having.
Leadership sometimes means having the courage to challenge conventional thinking, ask uncomfortable questions and stand up for what you believe is right, even when it isn’t politically convenient.
That’s the kind of courage I respect in Premier Smith. And that’s why I support her.

ANOTHER TRUDEAU LIBERAL FROM THE PUNJABI POLITICAL CLASS WANTS ONTARIO
Navdeep Bains spent years in cabinet while Ottawa drove immigration higher, the GTA’s housing market broke, and the ridings he represented kept changing. Now he sells “experience and opportunity” as the path to beating Doug Ford.
The experience is the same Liberal record that left ordinary Ontarians competing harder for homes and jobs. The opportunity is more of the same, delivered by another familiar face from the same network.
Canada belongs to the people already here. Voters deserve leaders who put their interests first, not another round of the policies and political machines that have already reshaped too much of the province.
